Chemical Structure

Potassium 3-carboxy-2-(carboxymethyl)oxirane-2-carboxylate CAS 303189-51-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Potassium 3-carboxy-2-(carboxymethyl)oxirane-2-carboxylate (C6H5O7K) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Potassium 3-carboxy-2-(carboxymethyl)oxirane-2-carboxylate (CAS 303189-51-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H5O7K and a molecular weight of 228.20 g/mol.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
